    Smoked Fried Wings
    Tiffany Y.

    4.5 stars. Off the Rails Barbeque and Drafthouse is a local, family-owned and -operated restaurant that serves barbecued meats, sides, sandwiches, alcoholic beverages, and more for lunch, dinner, and catering for dining in, pickup, and delivery. Their website says that they use ingredients from local farms and suppliers and make their foods fresh daily. Outside the restaurant are the smokers that they use to slow-cook the meats. The brisket and pork are said to be smoked for 12-14 hours. My husband and I ate at this restaurant years ago, but for some reason my previous review is not here. We liked Off the Rails then and still like it. Most recently, we ordered the BBQ Sampler Platter, which consisted of a 1/2 pound of brisket, 1/2 pound of pulled pork, 1/2 pound of pulled chicken, 1/2 rack of St. Louis ribs, and choice of three sides. I rate the flavors of each of these meats at 5 stars and the flavors of the mac-n-cheese, baked beans, and crispy Brussels sprouts as 4.5 stars each. The pulled pork and pulled chicken came with three bread buns to make sandwiches. I saw three house-made sauces--Carolina Gold, Kansas City, and Lexington-style Mop--and they tasted very good. The ribs were not pull-off-the-bone, but they were probably the first batch of the day. We had arrived 40 minutes after their opening time. An employee had tried to get us to substitute the ribs with another meat, but we instead decided to wait about 20 minutes for the ribs to be done. We also ordered Smoked Fried Wings, which have many available dry rubs and sauces, but we got the house seasoning with no sauce. An employee said a chupacabra rub. These wings tasted fantastic and were the best food of our meal. We LOVED their crispy and delightfully seasoned skin and their juicy insides. I do not have a receipt, but the total price for our foods and one soda should have been just under $100 plus a tip. We had leftovers and put those in large and small plastic containers that I had brought from home. (Other reviewers said that customers are not allowed to take home leftovers, but we went on a day with no special prices, and we had enough leftovers for two more meals at home!) We loved the wings so much that on "wing night" a few days later, we returned for the wings and some other sides. On Wednesdays the restaurant charges only $1 per wing. We ordered the allowed maximum of 6 wings, which we again LOVED, as well as spicy collard greens (4 stars), coleslaw (with little dressing, 3.5 stars), and cornbread (4.5 stars). Note that live music is played on certain days of the week.

    I went there during my trip to Pittsburgh. My brother knew about an event happening there, with music and Backyard Fall Music and BBQ. His favorite band, Billy Price, was playing at 6:00. We got there early to hear Jim Donovan and the Sun King Warriors, an Americana groove rock band. The band played some good cover music from the 70's and 80's. While listening to the music, we ordered St. Louis ribs and Mac and cheese from the bar. We had to pick them up when ready. The ribs were meaty and tender. We sat outside; it was a bit hot but nice to be so close to the band. The Billy Price band was playing in a different area outside, and it was $25 to get in (with a credit card). I managed to hear the first couple of songs from star, but we decided to leave without paying so much to get in to the backyard.

    Off the Rails is such a gem in Verona. They have awesome BBQ food including brisket, ribs, pulled pork & chicken, wings, and more. I love the pulled pork mac, it's a perfect combination of my two favorite things that they have. The Mac n cheese is peppery and has a nice little kick. I also really like their vinegar coleslaw. Their pick up is very quick (ready in about 20 min.) and they have a takeout shelf right when you walk in. Definitely recommend!

    If you find yourself near Verona, PA and in need of something smoky, cheesy, and soul-satisfying, *Off the Rails Barbeque* is your next essential stop. We swung by after a colorful visit to Primal Pigment (just down the road), and from the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for something special. The smell alone--absolute heaven. Add in plenty of outdoor seating and live music that sets the perfect laid-back tone, and you've got a whole experience, not just a meal. To kick things off, I grabbed a raspberry sour cider from 1911 Established and wow--imagine a tart sour beer and a crisp cider falling in love and raising a beautiful, refreshing baby. It was *that* good. Bonus points for the cute can that I'm now emotionally attached to. While Gianna and Melissa dove into tacos from the Cinco de Mayo special (which looked fire), I stayed classic with the pulled pork mac and cheese. Let me tell you: it was *GOUD*. Creamy, dreamy mac loaded with slow-smoked pork drenched in their house Carolina cider mop. It was tangy, smoky, and rich in all the right ways. Basically, everything you want on a plate when you're chasing that next-level BBQ fix. This is the kind of place where you can post up on a sunny afternoon, sip something cold, vibe to live music, and fill your soul (and stomach) with BBQ made right. Bonus: it's the sister spot to Oakmont Barbeque Company, one of Pittsburgh's best food trucks. Do yourself a favor and check it out-- #GOUDapproved

    Wifey wanted bbq for dinner and happened to come across this place. Walked in and placed our order at the counter. Gave us a pager for when our food was ready. Haven't been here before so we decided to get 1/2 of brisket, pulled pork, and chopped chicken. Sides were Mac and cheese and cornbread. Now as a New Yorker, when I usually order half a pound of bbq it's usually a tiny portion. Not here! Was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. Food did not disappoint. Everything was tasty. What topped it off was the Carolina gold sauce. Not sure what was in it but it sure tasted great. Mac and cheese had lil too much black pepper but wifey loved corn bread. Live music was playing while we ate. A lil too loud for my comfort but that was cool. After else ate, went outside to enjoy the firepit and play cornhole for a lil bit.

    Mac and Cheese with Brisket

    Wow! So delicious! The food is so yummy and there was an amazing live band. The service was very friendly and welcoming. Great place to go on a nice summer night.

    Blackened Mahi-Mahi Sandwich With Fries
    Amanda H.

    Awesome bbq spot in Verona! They have an indoor and outdoor seating area. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. We got the mahi mahi and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were extremely filling and flavorful. The fries were excellent. They have a nice selection of sauces for you to dip in. Ok selection of beers to choose from. Perfect spot if you're craving that classic bbq food! Not sure why we didn't get actual bbq at a bbq place (LOL) but that just means we will have to make a trip back!

    OMG damn so Good. Wow !!! First time in Pittsburg Verona !! Loved the food Live music it's awesome!!!

    Tom C.

    The atmosphere is very low-key but don't be fooled. They have lots of beer choices and a varied menu. Every item we ordered was excellent. Brisket nachos, pork quesadilla, and brisket grilled cheese were very tasty. The collard greens might have stolen the show...just the right amount of heat to jazz them up. We even had live entertainment!

    1/2 Smoked Chicken Choice of 1 Side
    Kris K.

    After concluding that there was no way we were heading out for dinner on a Friday Valentines Day evening, we planned a little ahead for DoorDash to bring us Off the Rails BBQ. Everything traveled surprisingly well. The star of the show was definitely the ribs. Smoked to perfection, with great char and seasoning. The smoked chicken was also quite good. The brisket had potential. It tasted great but if given a do over, I would have skipped it as a sandwich and just ordered it as a half/full pound cut. The sides are perhaps where things didn't live up to the rest of the meal. The slaw was a bit too sweet for us. And the collard greens had a weird spice profile that didn't suit us. A bit too sweet and not enough savory. That said, mac and cheese was great. Would definitely order from Off the Rails again. Next time though, we'll try to make it a dine-in experience.

    So tasty!! It's more of a fast casual place where you place your order and get a buzzer, but our food was ready within minutes. Great bbq sauces, brisket was tender and juicy, and they do live music! Will definitely have to come back.

    We came in on Wing Night and it was a really good deal! I ordered too much and got 6 wings since I've never been to their wing night before. They have a sign that says you can't take leftovers home so I hated that I wasted food here and couldn't take it home. I also had a tip added onto my card that I didn't authorize so I didn't like that. It's a really nice spot though with lots of outdoor seating, great selection of beer, large bbq menu, good prices, and great food. So we will definitely come back again to enjoy the warm weather and great bbq

    Absolutely obsessed.  Homemade, house-smoked barbeque.   The owners and staff are extremely sweet and friendly.  They do have indoor and outdoor seating which is super nice in the warmer months.  They do close in the one area for additional seating and have heaters so it's not too cold! The flavor, spices and way the items were prepared with absolutely delicious.  The meat melts right in your mouth.  Tried the wings- three jumbo smoked whole wings. They are slow cooked & flash fried. The pulled pork sandwich was incredible- slow smoked pork, tossed in a house Carolina cider mop piled on top of a Breadworks bun and Pittsburgh pickles. The brisket is a slow smoked Texas style brisket and we tried that on top of the creamy Mac and cheese. WOW- the brisket was so tender. And of course had to try their corn bread. Which came hot and totally hit the spot.

    One of the best briskets in the area. Not good for conversation if a band is there. Quite casual but comfortable.

While we are not beer drinkers we did enjoy a cocktail that was quite yummy, the transfusion. Also we ordered a stuffed potato with tzatziki sauce and lox and pickles diced tiny. It was quite delicious and tasty. They also have homemade pasta with different sauces and other potato fillings. We hope to go back and try those as well... Now on to the ambiance... Felt like I was back in Florida on a river! There's a marina to dock the boat that is quite beautiful. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating with great views of the river and shade. Really fun and pretty spot.

When searching the menu, I noticed that if you sign up for the mailings, you get a $2 pint - customer win #1..... We got there and the bartender was super friendly, letting us grab some samples, all of which seemed pretty good. I ended up getting the hazy NEIPA, which was stellar, minimal bitterness. Also had a pint of the strawberry cheesecake sour, which I guess is popular. It was very good, but a bit too sweet/sour for a full pint. Great selection of beer, upper tier brewery in greater Pittsburgh, stellar prices and I'll be baaaaaack. There was a band playing on the patio, not my thing, a "suburban barbeque joint / sauce rockabilly" typa group....but it's fine. View was great on the patio, river was calm, allowing us to enjoy the saucy rock while the sun went down. See y'all again, saucy rock or not.

The waitress was really nice and said one table was leaving soon and she put some tables together for my large group. She was pretty attentive for serving almost the whole bar alone. My mom and I split the burger and mesquite butter wings I think they could've been a little more saucy, I didn't mention anything, but I'm sure she would've brought me more. If I asked. I heard a lot of good things about the ranch and it was good once I really really tasted it. I didn't find it that flavorful off the top but once I really tasted it, it did have good flavor. Maybe this was a fresh batch that needed to sit. My dad got the buffalo chicken eggrolls. They were good, but we didn't realize it would just be chicken dip in the eggroll wrapper We were expecting shredded chicken with hot sauce and cheese or something similar. I came to celebrate my granddad's birthday just to try something new and he generally likes bar food. He enjoyed it as we sang happy birthday to him. The other patrons and the waitstaff also joined in and someone even offered to buy him a drink. this is a really nice bar if you're looking for good food , good vibes and nice people.
